"You are a beginning or intermediate skier, allergic to long lift lines, more interested in peace and quiet than après-ski action. Or you have young kids, ripe for introduction to skiing or snowboarding. Or you simply want a rustic mountain getaway, one where you can amble through a woodsy little village with zero Starbucks. These traits make you a good candidate for June Lake, the eastern Sierra town that lives most of its life in the shadow of bigger, busier Mammoth Lakes."
"The main road to June Lake is the 14-mile June Lake Loop, a.k.a. State Route 158, which branches off from U.S. 395 about 10 miles north of the exit for Mammoth, roughly 320 miles north of Los Angeles. Once you leave 395, things get rustic quickly. The two-lane loop threads its way among forests and A-frames and cabins, skirting the waters of June Lake and the lake's village, which is only a few blocks long. Check out the three-foot icicles dripping from the eaves and keep an eye out for the big boulder by the fire station on the right."
June Lake suits beginning and intermediate skiers who prefer short lift lines, peaceful slopes, and a family-oriented atmosphere. The town offers a rustic, woodsy village with no chain coffee shops and a relaxed small-town feel. June Lake sits along the 14-mile June Lake Loop (State Route 158), which branches from U.S. 395 about 10 miles north of the Mammoth exit and roughly 320 miles north of Los Angeles. The loop passes June Lake, Gull Lake, June Mountain ski area, Silver Lake and Grant Lake and features forests, A-frames and cabins. The northern part of the loop closes in winter, creating a secluded, snowbound vibe. June Mountain provides about 1,500 accessible acres, making it substantially smaller and less crowded than nearby Mammoth Mountain.
